Mathematics 1962

Norman Bluhm's 1962 abstract painting "Mathematics" is a bold example of Abstract Expressionism. The artwork features a dynamic composition of gestural brushstrokes and drips of black, red, and white paint against a cream background. Bluhm's use of color and energetic application of paint create a sense of movement and energy, suggesting the unpredictable nature of both mathematics and life itself. This piece reflects Bluhm's fascination with the process of creation and the interplay of chance and control in artistic expression.
